Make Michelin a leader in sustainable mobility. Rank amongst the world’s most innovative, responsible and high-performing companies. In our quest to make sustainable mobility a reality, we move closer to this ambitious goal every day. Offering everyone a better way forward – that’s Michelin’s purpose.

Development and Sustainable mobility

The Group’s societal responsibility is embodied by its Development and Sustainable Mobility strategy. This strategy aims to make Michelin one of the most innovative, responsible, and high-performing companies worldwide across all of its responsibilities: economic, environmental, social and societal.

Stakeholder committee

Michelin fosters an open, constructive dialogue with stakeholders at the local, national and international levels. This process helps the Group understand changes in society’s expectations and tap into criticism and suggestions that generate new ideas, stimulate innovation and open new horizons for future development.

The Group-level stakeholder committee is made up of 13 individuals from around the world. The committee has an annual meeting with the president and the executive board to discuss the Group’s sustainable development and mobility strategy, technology and responsible employer practices.

The most recent meeting was held on Oct. 10-11, 2019.

Notably at the agenda for discussion:

The functional economy: client perspective, Michelin and the functional economy, opportunities and threats, the Internet of things;

Michelin's approach in relations with stakeholders

Michelin’s business development is closely linked to the quality of its interactions with all its stakeholders. These interactions undergird not only its commercial relationships but also its CSR strategy and goals. In addition to enhancing the Group’s performance, this dialog offers a space to design the future of higher-performing, more sustainable mobility together.

These meetings provide an opportunity to expand Michelin’s role in sustainable mobility based on the expectations expressed by representatives of society. They also serve as a forum to address other issues, like Michelin’s role in the local education system or regional economic appeal.

Stakeholder relationships at all levels of the Group

Michelin fosters an open, constructive dialog with stakeholders at the local, national and international levels. This process helps it understand changes in society’s expectations and discover the criticisms and suggestions that help generate new ideas, stimulate innovation and open new horizons for future development.

All Michelin entities are therefore encouraged to identify key stakeholders and build relationships with them at the national and operational levels.

The local director is responsible for site-level stakeholder relationships.
